A Master by Research degree requires you to demonstrate mastery of inquiry in a discipline or profession. You will undertake supervised research and write a thesis equivalent to 50,000 – 60,000 words. A Master by Research candidate is expected to plan, conduct and complete a research project; understand relevant techniques in the field, demonstrated both by comprehensive review of the literature and by research processes adopted; access and interpret key data in relevant fields; and present outcomes clearly and logically using relevant media. The duration of a full-time Masters by Research is based entirely on the presentation of a major thesis to the satisfaction of the University’s Higher Degrees Committee
